REF-218 417
We are delighted to be hiring two new staff members to help build a Bath and North East Somerset Community Energy Network:

The Community Energy Network is funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund and will be run through a partnership between Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bath and West Community Energy, the University of Bath and the multi-agency BANES Community Wellbeing Hub.
Project Background
To tackle the climate crisis and fuel poverty, we are going to need a LOT more people involved, taking action in whatever ways they can. Fortunately, there are hundreds of people in our area who are already stepping up to do this.
Our vision for the energy transition has two elements. Firstly, we must reduce energy demand, particularly from homes, where high energy bills are causing serious social problems. Secondly, we must ensure that the remaining energy demand is met by clean local renewable energy, owned by and with benefits retained by the local community.
The Energy Outreach Coordinators will support people taking action on both these elements.
Job Purpose
We are looking for a motivated community organiser and project manager to recruit, inspire and support a diverse range of Home Energy Champions within a new BANES Community Energy Network.
The Home Energy Outreach Coordinator will recruit and support people who champion domestic energy efficiency in diverse ways; as members of community organisations, frontline agencies and those involved in BWCE’s previous projects. The Home Energy Outreach Coordinator will help create a strong, positive identity for these Home Energy Champions. They will work with others to curate, develop and run a programme of events, celebration, training and networking to meet a range of needs. In addition, they will provide more structured support for Home Energy Advice Champions, Home Energy Neighbourhoods (neighbours taking home energy action together) and existing Champions from previous projects. The role sits within BWCE’s Communications and Engagement team and the post holder will be supported by energy experts from BWCE and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
Principal tasks
- Volunteer recruitment and support: Build a strong cohort of Home Energy Champions, including 50 Energy Advice Champions and other champions acting in different ways.
- Programme development: As part of the Community Energy Network, co-develop, innovate and implement a support programme for existing and new people who champion home energy efficiency.
- Organise group activities including drop-in sessions, roadshows, follow-on activities from our Green Open Homes programme and Home Energy Neighborhoods.
- Partnership working with the range of community organisations and agencies to ensure the Home Energy champions complement the work of others. This includes bringing in new partners to the Home Energy strand of the Network where opportunities arise, for example social housing providers or Parish Councils.
- Project Management: Take a project management approach to organising, scheduling, monitoring and prioritising tasks and managing risks.
- Communications: Provide content for promotional materials that will resonate with target audiences, as part of the Community Energy Network communications strategy and with support from communications colleagues.
- Evaluation: Undertake data collection and the reporting of Network activities, supporting evaluation through follow-up surveys, case studies, focus groups, working with Bath University

Project Background
To tackle the climate crisis and fuel poverty, we are going to need a LOT more people involved, taking action in whatever ways they can. Fortunately, there are hundreds of people in our area who are already stepping up to do this.
Our vision for the energy transition has two elements. Firstly, we must reduce energy demand, particularly from homes, where high energy bills are causing serious social problems. Secondly, we must ensure that the remaining energy demand is met by clean local renewable energy, owned by and with benefits retained by the local community.
The Energy Outreach Coordinators will support people taking action on both these elements.
Job Purpose
We are looking for a motivated community organiser and project manager with renewable energy knowledge to work with communities to help decide if, how and where to develop renewable energy projects in their area, as part of the BANES Community Energy Network. They will help develop a new engagement process that takes a grassroots approach to identifying sites and maximises community involvement in, and benefit from, new schemes.
The successful applicant will connect new and existing renewable energy champions to the BANES Community Energy Network and develop a programme of networking, celebration and learning to support them. The role sits within BWCE’s Communications and Engagement team and the post holder will be supported by energy experts from BWCE and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
Principal tasks
- Community Engagement and facilitation: Work with community members, stakeholders, organisations and the local Champions leading the process to maximise local participation, for example through workshops.
- Partnership working: Coordinate closely with Bath & North East Somerset and Wiltshire Councils, the Centre for Sustainable Energy and local partners to co-develop and implement the programme.
- Organise events and activities such as workshops, drop-in sessions, roadshows and webinars to increase participation in the process and awareness of community energy.
- Project Management: Take a project management approach to organising, scheduling, monitoring and prioritising tasks and managing risks.
- Process development: Work with partners to co-evolve the Future Energy Landscape model, including a business case planning tool that can be shared with other networks and communities.
- Communications: Provide content for communications materials that resonate in the communities with input from local champions and support from the BANES council project communications offer.
- Evaluation: Undertake data collection and reporting of Network activities, supporting evaluation through follow-up surveys, case studies, focus groups, working with Bath University.
